Unable to upgrade to latest build of TI 10
Hi Everybody, I am about to post a seperate issue on here but as part of the troubleshooting I am trying to install the latest build of True Image Home 10. I am using build 4940 and trying to upgrade to build 4942 but when I try installing the new version it comes up with the following:
The installation was interrupted before Acronis True Image Home could be installed. You need to restart the installer to try again.
I am using Vista Ultimate 64 bit.
Thanks in advance and any help is appreciated. John Evans

Hi Chris,
First of all thanks. I cannot believe that I did not think about log files to begin with.
I decided to go down the route of a fresh install of the new build. However this also did not install coming up with the same message.
In case it was because the folder it was in is an ecrypted folder (EFS) I have moved it to an unencrypted folder and run as admin.
I could only find one that it recreated at the end of the install which to do with the "REMOVE".
There were two entries in the event logs:

This may help somebody. It doesn't mean that much to me.
Thanks again to everybody who has looked even if you too are none the wiser.

Yeah, doesn't make much sense to me, either.
I might log in as Administrator and then try the install (even if your user account has administrative priv's, maybe something will be different as Administrator). Maybe even try booting into Safe Mode to do the install. You can tell I'm grasping at straws here. I still use XP and had no trouble upgrading to 4942. Maybe it's a Vista-specific issue. Then again, if 4940 installed OK, why not 4942? Maybe try a fresh download of the 4942 installer, on the off chance that the one you have got corrupted somehow.
Other than that, I'd open a ticket with Acronis Support, 'cuz I'm out of ideas.
Better luck,
Chris

Hello,
Chris, thanks for your help.
John, let me assist you.
In order to investigate the installation issue I need MS Installer log file. You can find instructions on how to create it at this KB article. Please attach the created log file to the reply to this thread.
I'm looking forward to hearing back from you at your earliest convenience.
Thank you.
